When I was a high school student, I never thought about life in university. Of course, I realized the fact that high school life and university life are different in many ways when I enter in university. These are self-management, regulation, and assignment.

The first difference is self-management. Mostly, high school students always are controlled by their parents in their behavior. And their parents will also provide their living cost. In addition, they have to focus on their studies instead of partying or hanging out with friends all days. Moreover, they have to follow schedules which are arranged by school. In contrast to this, university students are free and less controlled. For example, they have to take responsibility for their lives. They have to manage their living costs. They can arrange their courses freely. In addition, they can manage their free time and their schedule as they want.

Another difference is regulation. The regulation in high school is very strict. There are many rules that high school students must follow. For example, when they must wear uniform, especially girls. Their skirt must be long enough to cover their knees. Their hair also must be short and not dyed. In contrast, the regulation in university is less strict. For instance, university students can wear any fashionable or comfortable clothes to go to the university. However, the clothes that they wear should be proper. In addition, they can put on make-up and they can have any hairstyles.

The last difference is assignments. Since high school students have many subjects to study, in each day they get a lot of homework. However, their homework is easy to do. In addition, they don’t have to worry about the time to hand in their homework. They can hand in late of assignments, because high school teachers are very kind. On the contrary, the university homework is less than homework in high school. But it is...

From “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1945
FOR the most wild, yet most homely narrative, which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not -- and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified -- have tortured -- have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror -- to many they will seem less terrible...

...from GOD. / Life is Just like a School.
Life is just like a school. The fundamental objective of admitting oneself into a school is to gain knowledge and graduate oneself to the next level. However it is also happens that a student fails in a particular class and continues to attend school in the same grade – isn’t it? In a typical case it is also possible that a student fails multiple times in the same class and ultimately drops out of school. Similarly life also provides us with an opportunity to learn and grow in knowledge. It is constantly offering you with the opportunity to transcend to superior heights and raise your level of consciousness. Unfortunately we are all blind to any kind of transcendence. We wish to continue and enjoy in a state that we are currently in. We prefer to remain in the same class year over year and ultimately prefer to be a drop out. A politician wants to play the worldly game of power, pride, ego and he remains clinged these human vices. A Doctor wants to amass wealth, earn fame and nourish his ego and hence he remains clinged to life. We all want to remain attached with something or the other. You falsely believe that your car is your car, your house is yours, your job, your child, your wife is yours. These false beliefs restrict us from transcending to the next level in life at all.

...Persuading Courts to Impose
Sanctions on Your Adversary
by Douglas J. Pepe
We’ve all been there.
You’re embroiled in a knock-down, drag-out fight. Your
adversary crosses the line separating forceful advocacy from
misconduct. Not once. Not innocently. Not trivially. Sanctions
are in order. Yet, most judges don’t like them. So, how do you
persuade the court to impose them? What kinds of sanctions
can you ask for? Here are five tips for filing an effective sanctions motion.
Tip Number 1: Know the rules of the game before you
play. An extensive body of law exists on litigation abuse and
sanctions, but few of us find ourselves steeped in the issues
as part of our daily practice. I suppose that is a good thing.
Sanctions law is full of traps for the unwary or the uninitiated. Knowing the rules of the game—and following them—is
essential to persuading a court to sanction your adversary.
The sources of sanctions law are as myriad as the abuses
they are designed to address. Each state has its own set of
sanctions powers. Often, but not always, they are modeled
after those in federal court. Appellate rules differ from those
in the trial courts. Statutory provisions like 28 U.S.C. § 1927,
which provides for attorneys’ fees directly from opposing
counsel in all federal courts, operate outside the rules and
apply across the full spectrum of trial and appellate courts.
Federal courts also possess broad “inherent powers” to award
sanctions. Each source comes...

School Safety
Jake Kristiansen
Senior Committee
Senior Project
13 December 2013
Over the years, the United States has encountered numerous amounts of schools shootings. With every attack that has occurred, how have we failed to stop them? In the future, parents of the students must allow them to enter schools and feel confident that they will be safe. We have the technology and time to emplace tactics that can prevent any type of school shooting, we just need to initiate them. Studying the past shootings and figuring out what went down and how to prevent it is the key. Over the years, most schools in the United States have failed to install safety devices to protect students from harm. Even though, shootings still occur in schools that have well developed plans “If you build a 10-foot fence” the expression goes, “someone is going to find an 11-foot ladder” (Kelly). However, even if a plan may not save every life, if it protects just one more, it has done its job. That is why in order for schools to increase safety for students and teachers, they must study past events, develop a specific plan for safety and train responders and staff on what to do when school shooting occurs. and train for the future.
The most recognized school shooting in the last twenty years happened in Columbine Colorado during the...

...study is a second grade student at an elementary
school. I will call him John Smith. John is a Hispanic student who has two other
siblings: a younger brother in first grade and a newborn sister. I chose John after
observing him in the classroom and talking to his first and second grade teachers.
Among a class of 19-second grade students, he is the only one who sucks his thumb
and has difficulty interacting with other students. John can be extremely
argumentative and short tempered with the other students. After speaking with his
first grade teacher she stated she had a very difficult year with John. On many
mornings, John screamed and cried in class and rarely completed any class or
homework. Even after conferencing with his parents his academic performance did
not improve.
John's current second grade teacher says that he doesn't cry and scream, but that
he doesn't complete class or homework. The few instances he did complete some
work it was very sloppy. His 2nd grade teacher, Miss Jones, says that John has the
potential to do so much more in class because when giving oral responses, he
understands the daily lesson, but fails with the written work.
I continued to collect information about John by looking at his CUM folder.
Inside his CUM was paperwork for a Student Intervention Team (SIT). A SIT
involves the school counselor, teacher, and parent of the student who is experiencing
difficulties in school. The...

...The Grammar-Translation Method
The grammar-translation method of foreign language teaching is one of the most traditional methods, dating back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s. It was originally used to teach 'dead' languages (and literatures) such as Latin and Greek, and this may account for its heavy bias towards written work to the virtual exclusion of oral production. As Omaggio comments, this approach reflected "the view of faculty psychologists that mental discipline was essential for strengthening the powers of the mind." (Omaggio 89) Indeed, the emphasis on achieving 'correct' grammar with little regard for the free application and production of speech is at once the greatest asset and greatest drawback to this approach.
What is the grammar translation method
1. The grammar- translation method of foreign language teaching is one of the most tradition method.
2. It was original used to teach "dead" language (and literatures) such as Latin and Greek, involving little or no spoken communication or listening comprehension.
The characteristics
1.A focus on learning the rules of grammar and their application in translation passage from one language into the other.
2. Vocabulary in the target language is learner through direct translation from the native language , it is taught in the form of isolated word lists.e.g. with vocabulary tests such as
The house = la case
The mouse = el raton
3. Vary little...

...Ron Suskind’s A Hope in the Unseen is a moving novel that illustrates the passage of a young man high school through his first year as a freshman at Brown University. What makes the storyline most interesting is that the protagonist, Cedric Lavar Jennings, hails from a particularly unique background. His father is a drug addict who spends half his time in prison and the other half of his time on parole working any job he can find. As a result, Gilliam plays little to no role as a parental figure save the few times Cedric interacts with him in prison. Cedric’s mother Barbra, on the contrary, is an incredible human being. Words fail to express exactly how much Barbra has sacrificed for her son Cedric. “She’s been killing herself, her lifeblood channeled thorough scriptural pieties and long-shot hopes for Cedric’s future, leaving new own urges untended and volatile” (42). In this sense, Cedric is virtually brought up entirely by his mother and her values quickly ingrain themselves in Cedric.
The first part of the novel chronicles Cedric’s final years at Frank W. Ballou Senior High; a high school in southeast Washington DC frequented by inner-city children whose last concern is academics. The portrait given of the school is pretty bleak, with multiple daily reports of violence. Crab/bucket syndrome: “when one crab tries to climb from the bucket, the others pull it down” (17). Amidst this background at Ballou, Cedric not only manages...

...because we don't want to dilute the associated strengths in the process of addressing the weaknesses. Yet, we can develop perspectives and work on them over a period of time to address their negative fallout. Go ahead and share a weakness using this perspective. It won't ever harm you.
FAILURES
Don't use a phony failure experience.
Weakness, Setback and Failure
Achievements are easy to write. Setbacks, failures and weaknesses, however, pose a challenge because we are not sure how to project them without adversely affecting our chances of being admitted.
All of us fail regularly to equal our dreams of perfection and to perform as well as we feel we can. The big issue is not that we have weaknesses or we have failed; it's part of life. The point to make through the essays is that you have a system to manage these imperfections in a way that they do not dictate you. It's about showing setbacks and weaknesses as robust stepping stones that lead you to growth and maturity.
WEAKNESSES
Our weaknesses are usually a result of over pursuance of our strengths. You are inquisitive and want to do new things always, so completing routine tasks is a weakness. You are methodical and organized, so you find it difficult to take impromptu decisions. You care about people's feeling so you struggle to communicate bad news to them. You are so keen on taking responsibility and want to get things right that you find it difficult to delegate tasks and end up...
